This is my first time with CL, but I have CLX4 84s (very very small position), CLZ4 72 and 74s, and CLF5 70s that I put on before the drop in CL and the rise in vol. I noticed that the CLF5 70's were...

I finally heard back from TOS (customer support is very lacking). Apparently they have a SOM (Short Option Minimum) of 330 per option. I think this is far in excess of the SPAN minimum, and it ends...
